INFORMATION STATEMENT REGARDING ACTION TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT

OF MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER IN LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY,

AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

 

GENERAL

 

This Information Statement is being filed in connection with the filing of two Certificates of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) by written consent of the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding common stock in lieu of a special meeting of shareholders. A copy of the Certificates of Amendment are attached as Appendix A to this Information Statement.

 

The elimination of the need for a meeting of shareholders to approve these actions is made possible by Section 78.207 of the Nevada Revised Statutes which provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a meeting. In order to eliminate the costs involved in holding a special meeting, our Board of Directors determined to utilize the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of our voting securities.

 

Pursuant to Section 78.207 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we are required to provide notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting of shareholders to all shareholders who did not consent in writing to such action. This Information Statement serves as this notice. This Information Statement is being filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on or about September 30, 2014 who did not consent to the Certificate of Amendment. No dissenter’s rights are afforded to our shareholders under Nevada law as a result of the adoption of the Certificate of Amendment.

 

OUR PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

 

Our voting securities are comprised of our common stock. At August 31, 2014, we had 750,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock on the date of the majority consent in lieu of a shareholders’ meeting that enabled our Company to increase its number of authorized shares as described in this information statement. This information is shown for:

 

each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock;
each of our directors;
each of our named executive officers; and
our named executive officers and directors as a group.
 
 

The percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all shares of our common stock outstanding on that date and all shares of our common stock issuable to that holder in the event of exercise of outstanding options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges owned by that person at that date which are exercisable within 60 days of that date. Except as otherwise indicated, the persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock owned by them, except to the extent that power may be shared with a spouse.
